EIMA International 2026: Exhibitor Demand Soars

The FederUnacoma annual meeting, held yesterday afternoon in Varignana (BO), included on its agenda the election of some of the Federation’s representative bodies.

in Bologna from Tuesday, November 10, through Saturday, November 14, were presented during the FederUnacoma general assembly. Applications to participate have reached record levels, and the quality of the exhibits is very high. The Maserati Area is being utilized for the first time, expanding the boundaries of the exhibition grounds. More than 60,000 models of machinery and technologies are estimated to be on display. General Manager Simona Rapastella stated: “EIMA brings together much of the technical, economic, and relationship-building work carried out by the Federation, all aimed at fostering cooperation among countries.”

The resilience of the domestic market offsets the decline in exports, driving the production of the Italian agromachinery industry, which closes out 2025 with a total value of 14.3 billion euros (+2.1%). Looking at the various production sectors, growth is seen in components, spare parts, and tractor parts, as well as in gardening machinery and equipment; conversely, sales of tractors and other agricultural machinery are down. The decline in exports, due primarily to U.S. tariff policies, does not compromise the trade surplus.

Global tractor sales rose in the first four months of the year, reaching 512,000 units. The sector’s performance was driven by India, which continues to set record pace. Traditional markets showed mixed results: the U.S., Canada, and Brazil slowed, Europe held steady, and Turkey saw a sharp decline. A key factor is the stability of the agreement between the United States and Iran.
